    1 Before You Start 1.1 Introduction The Fluke 9100S Mid-Range Field Calibrator may be used as a portable instrument or bench top temperature calibrator for calibrating thermocouple and RTD temperature probes. This instrument is small enough to use in the field, and accurate enough to use in the lab.

The temperature stability of the well and response time depend on the width of the proportional band. If the band is too wide, the well temperature deviates excessively from the set-point due to varying external conditions.
